Booked by 2 families in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi! My name is Floriana, I’m 37 and originally from Italy. I have several years of experience working with children from ages 2 to 15 as a babysitter in both Italy and Ireland. I truly enjoy supporting families and creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids and teenagers. In addition to childcare, I also offer household support such as tidying, laundry, dishes, light organization, running errands, and general home upkeep. I’m very organized, proactive, and comfortable helping families keep their homes running smoothly. I’m also an animal lover and happy to help with pet care — feeding, walks, playtime, and making sure pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re busy or away. I consider myself reliable, punctual, and easy to work with. I value trust, clear communication, and building positive relationships with the families I support. I enjoy creating calm, organized spaces and helping wherever I can to make daily life a little easier.

She was wonderful, came early and immediately started playing with both kids. She even took them to the pool and made me Mother's Day cards. I wish we lived closer so we could make her one of our regulars! I highly recommend her!!!

Vee $15 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Vee, and I'm currently attending Mesa Community College, majoring in Musical Theatre. I’m offering child care, pet care, and household services. I love babysitting and have experience working with children, from newborns to teenagers, both as a babysitter and a counsellor. I love playing and encouraging imagination, I’m very crafty, I have experience in tutoring and helping with homework, I can cook, and I’m a singer! I am certified in adult and pediatric first aid/CPR. I love working with animals, and have owned many over the course of my life. I have no allergies, so I can work with any animals you may have. I have direct experience with more traditional pets – such as dogs, cats, rodents – and with more exotic animals – like most reptiles and birds. I am experienced in household chores, like cooking, cleaning, laundry. I will happily help clean your house, and I have no issue with house-sitting, especially if you have plants.

Booked by 1 family in Scottsdale, AZ

Hi there! My name is Hannah, and I’ve been nannying on and off since high school (I’m 28 now) and my most recent nanny position wrapped up last year. I’ve also spent several years caring for infants and toddlers at my local church. My siblings have five kids ranging from 2 to 9, so I’ve always been surrounded by little ones! I’d describe myself as caring, fun, and creative. I love coming up with activities that spark imagination and curiosity. I’m also adventurous and enjoy spending time outdoors, whether that’s exploring a park, doing crafts outside, or going on little adventures. At the same time, I’m responsible, timely, and dependable - qualities I know parents value. I truly enjoy helping kids learn, laugh, and grow, and I’d be so happy to care for yours!

Hannah was an incredible help over the past few weeks, and we could not have been happier with her support. She was reliable, thoughtful, and consistently brought a high level of attention to detail to everything she handled. She made our day-to-day much smoother. Her communication was excellent and she approached every task with professionalism and care. We truly appreciated her help and would highly recommend her!!!
